1694037 - "Checking server capabilities" every time going online for a disabled IMAP account

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 689067

(Thunderbird :: Untriaged, enhancement)

Description

[Marcel Partap]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:85.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/85.0

Steps to reproduce:

Among the several mail accounts in my thunderbird profile, there's a disabled IMAP account from a previous work place which I do not want to remove.
Is there any way to stop firefox from contacting the server and bringing a blocking password entry popup when going online? Checking for new messages on startup or interval both is disabled already, also immediate server noti's..
Might have been resolved in the newest releases which is not yet in Debian unstable? using 1:78.7.1-1 at the moment..

This is the part from my prefs.js describing the account (anonymized):

user_pref("mail.identity.id7.archive_folder", "imap://[e-mail]/Archiv");
user_pref("mail.identity.id7.archives_folder_picker_mode", "1");
user_pref("mail.identity.id7.attachPgpKey", false);
user_pref("mail.identity.id7.attach_signature", false);
user_pref("mail.identity.id7.attach_vcard", false);
user_pref("mail.identity.id7.doBcc", false);
user_pref("mail.identity.id7.draft_folder", "imap://[e-mail]/Entw&APw-rfe");
user_pref("mail.identity.id7.drafts_folder_picker_mode", "1");
user_pref("mail.identity.id7.enablePgp", false);
user_pref("mail.identity.id7.encryptionpolicy", 0);
user_pref("mail.identity.id7.fcc_folder", "imap://[e-mail]/Gesendet");
user_pref("mail.identity.id7.fcc_folder_picker_mode", "1");
user_pref("mail.identity.id7.fullName", "FULL NAME");
user_pref("mail.identity.id7.htmlSigFormat", false);
user_pref("mail.identity.id7.reply_on_top", 0);
user_pref("mail.identity.id7.sig_bottom", true);
user_pref("mail.identity.id7.sign_mail", false);
user_pref("mail.identity.id7.smtpServer", "smtp9");
user_pref("mail.identity.id7.stationery_folder", "imap://[e-mail]/Templates");
user_pref("mail.identity.id7.tmpl_folder_picker_mode", "0");
user_pref("mail.identity.id7.useremail", "[e-mail]");
user_pref("mail.identity.id7.valid", true);

Actual results:

Server capabilities being checked and password requested every time I go online..

Expected results:

No checking of IMAP capabilities unless message checking is being triggered..

hi,

I have now the same trouble on 2 differents windows 10. The only thing which is new is the windows 10 patch KB5015878.
I am using thunderbird 102.1.0 64 bits. I have an unsigned certificated on the email server. I am using the same certificat for smtp connexion and the certificat is working fine.
I have look in thunderbird log, it seems the trouble is went requesting the list of imap folder. We have a un null folder.
Regards
